Ssh2

[optik]

I'm using ssh2 a PHP extension to create a new folder on my server, however if I try and set the permissions of that folder above the default of 0755 it creates the folder with that default setting.

It seems like there is some setting preventing me creating a folder with higher permissions e.g 0777.

Does the current umask effect these functions, as it does with mkdir() [uk2.php.net] ?

[optik]

I tried unmask and it didn't seem to work over ssh2

The original issue of not being able to delete folders remotely seems to of gone away now

[optik]

This is not resolved I thought it was fixed but I had used umask on the folder in question normally so the folder deleted.

I still can't delete folders using SSH2.

Are the directories empty?

[optik]

That seems to be it, once the folder it is empty it will delete, thanks a lot.

The reason I asked is, if you are doing a command line rmdir (or via exec command in PHP) you can use the -R flag (recursive) which will delete anything in the directory.

This is a very, very, dangerous command, be sure it's pointed at the right directories. You can't do too many checks before executing it to be safe.

I'm sure PHP has a flag available for this, just don't have it handy.

I didn't even realise rmdir needed an empty folder, I should of noticed this by now :)
